The General Data Protection Regulation – Regulation 2016/679 of 27 April, considers personal data to be “information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person”.

Confidentiality and data protection

Under the terms of Law no. 67/98 of 26 October (Portuguese Law) on the protection of personal data, all personal data provided during use of the Website will be processed in accordance with the provisions of the Privacy Policy, which all users must expressly accept in order to be able to use the system and register with it.

The validity of these Terms of Use therefore coincides with the time they are displayed until they are modified in whole or in part, at which point the modified Terms of Use will become valid.

Without prejudice to the provisions of the specific conditions that may be established, the provider may terminate, suspend or interrupt access to the contents of the Website at any time and without prior notice, without the user having the possibility of claiming any compensation. After this termination, the prohibitions on the use of the contents set out above in these Terms of Use will remain in force.

Also, if the user violates these Conditions of Use, the provider may, automatically and without prior notice, suspend or cancel their subscriptions as a user and, under no circumstances, shall such suspension or cancellation grant the user any right to compensation. To this end, the provider informs you that it may inform and collaborate in a timely manner with the competent police and judicial authorities if it detects any infringement of current legislation or if it suspects that an offence has been committed.

In the event of any discrepancy between the provisions of these Terms of Use and the specific conditions of each specific service on the Website, the provisions of the latter shall prevail.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is declared null and void or unenforceable, in whole or in part, by any court or competent administrative body, such nullity or unenforceability shall not affect the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use.
Failure by the provider to exercise or enforce any right or provision included in these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver thereof, unless acknowledged and agreed to in writing by the provider.

Personal data refers to any type of information recorded electronically or otherwise relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, excluding information that has been anonymized.

We may collect your personal data when you use VOLT-E’s pages, products and services or interact with us. Different types of data will be collected depending on the service you use and your interactions with the brand. In some cases, you can choose not to provide this data, but this may prevent us from providing you with the corresponding products or services, or we may not be able to respond to or resolve any problems that arise.

When providing you with VOLT-E products and services, we may also collect your personal data for statistical purposes, such as website visits, and product sales volume, etc. for marketing study purposes.

By using VOLT-E products and services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agreed to the terms of this Policy.
